majumdar: looks like musharraf has fooled not just bush (who is easily fooled it seems) but also zeemax into thinking that the maulvis are anything more than convenient fools who helped keep him in illegal power for 8 years.

#35 nasah: in other words, when mullah fazloo flips, hamidm will flop. and when mullah fazloo flops, hamidm will flip.

Thus: while mullah fazloo flip-flops, hamidm flop-flips.

Please dont encourage hamidm to continue his flop-flipping on musharraf when i am trying so hard to get him to start using his own mind.

Zee sahib,

I think I will go with HP sain here. Indeed it is true that Pakistan is having to fight for its borders but the situation is nowhere as desperate as you think it is. The havayoons are getting a beating in FATA lately. Of course they will remain a strong force in the countryside and also plague Pakistan with random acts of bombing.

Regards

#41 Posted by HP,

I'm sure you're right, but it appears you say different things to different people, HP Sain:

Dada,
The one thing you forget to mention that while the Soviet intervention led to its own disintegration, the other interventionist in Afghanistan, Pakistan too is fighting to keep its geographical integrity.

"if I didn't know how crazy you can be, I would actually think you are quite ignorant."

The problem with you my friend is that you have no idea what the political concepts are. Your reliance on TV and newspapers makes you appear a simpleton rather than someone who understands what a particular phrase means and what historical contexts are all about.

Aleph -- not in terms of business by any means -- it was regulated to the hilt -- but socially.

nasah #38:

{{the phrase is Nehruvian Fabianism -- lazy stagnant Laissez-faire}}

It's stagnant state socialism, not laissez-faire! Nasah sahib, how could you?

Re: # 28

the phrase is Nehruvian Fabianism -- lazy stagnant Laissez-faire -- not zealot murderous Stalinism -- and it did work for its time.

hamidm: That is an interesting thought process - make your views a function (inverse, in this case) of another man's views. hmmmm.....

mullah fazloo agrees with me on the droopy-eyed cj ? .... i might have to change my position

ISLAMABAD: Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) Secretary General Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Saturday refused to support the reinstatement of deposed judges of the Supreme Court and high courts including sacked chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.

Speaking at a ceremony hosted by the South Asian Free Media Association (SAFMA), Fazl said that he supported the independence of judiciary, but would not favour reinstatement of the deposed CJP and other judges, who had taken oath under a PCO in 1999.

...... on behalf of my president i would like to thank the horrible hindoos for their kind thoughts:

ISLAMABAD, Dec 1: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday greeted President Pervez Musharraf on his re-election and expressed the hope that ties between two countries would get better.

Mr Singh in his message to Mr Musharraf extended greetings and felicitations on behalf of the government and people of India...APP

#29 Posted by HP,

-Only politicians change borders.

-they don’t have the strength of politicians to do that.

HP Sain, if I didn't know how crazy you can be, I would actually think you are quite ignorant.
